Beautiful Century

1st Pitch- 55m- 5.8/ A tough 5.8 slab pitch up to a true 5.8 corner. Several partners of mine swear this is tougher than 5.8 slab lower down. I personally thought it was close to grade but then it was one of two pitches I did not lead. Climb the slab to the base of the corner (rappel station or mid belay station if you want it) past six bolts. Then stem up the corner past another five bolts and move left to the belay by the tree.Beautiful Century, 5.10a, 7 Pitches, Nanny Goat, Goat Mountain, Canmore, AB, August, 2007

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""
